Private AI on Apple silicon.
Yes. TARX_OS runs locally on Apple silicon. Join the Supercomputer. First-run stays local. This is the Join path. LM Studio and Ollama are DIY chat windows. TARX_OS is the governed runtime on the same silicon. Get a T-4 when the desk needs dedicated NVIDIA.

HOW TARX WORKS
How TARX works on the computer you already own
People already have Macs. That is the first Supercomputer node they will ever Join. TARX software is free. Local TARX_OS inference. LOCAL by default.
The product is not another chat window. Control waits on writes. Evidence records what ran. Vault holds secrets. You can stay on Macs only. Supercomputer is optional.
When the team outgrows the laptop, get a T-4 for indoor or vehicle work, indoor / vehicle. Same OS. Same approval. Same evidence.
